Music Tuition

Friendly instrumental lessons on the Isle of Wight, with a focus on piano for all ages.

A close-up, photographic realism shot of a well-maintained digital piano keyboard, focusing on a short, handwritten lesson plan notebook resting partly on the keys, with a sharpened pencil lying diagonally across the page. The keys show subtle wear, with gentle reflections in the glossy black surfaces. In the blurred background, the shapes of a guitar headstock and a ukulele body hang on a tidy wall rack. Natural morning light streams in from the left, casting soft highlights on the notebook paper and delicate shadows between the keys. Captured from a slightly elevated angle with shallow depth of field, the mood is calm, organised, and studious, evoking structured, professional one-to-one tuition.

Luke Mulhern

Luke Mulhern has over 10 years of experience teaching music in schools and educational settings. He holds a BA (Hons) in Music from the University of Chichester and previously studied BTEC Music at Platform One College of Music on the Isle of Wight.

Luke is passionate about making music accessible, engaging, and enjoyable for everyone. He believes that no two people learn in exactly the same way, and that everyone has different musical tastes and aspirations. Whether introducing children to music for the first time, developing instrumental skills, or leading ensembles and workshops, Luke tailors his teaching to suit the individual, helping every learner build confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of music.

His lessons combine practical music-making with creativity and enjoyment, creating an inclusive environment where every student has the opportunity to succeed.

Piano

Luke has been playing the piano since the age of nine, studying throughout school, college, and university with a focus on piano performance. He has been teaching piano since 2022.

A tidy row of instruments ready for lessons: a full-size acoustic piano, a sunburst electric guitar on a stand, a natural-finish ukulele, a compact drum kit, and a sleek black bass guitar, all arranged along one wall of a modern teaching studio. The room features light oak flooring and sound-absorbing wall panels in neutral tones. Soft, diffused daylight enters through a large unseen window, highlighting the textures of wood, metal hardware, and drum skins while keeping shadows gentle. Photographic realism, wide-angle lens from a slightly elevated corner, with sharp focus throughout. The composition feels balanced and spacious, conveying a well-equipped, professional Isle of Wight music tuition environment without clutter.

Guitar / Ukulele

Luke first started playing guitar at the age of seven, but initially gave up after finding it too difficult. He returned to the instrument in his early teens and now has a collection of different guitars. He has been teaching guitar since 2023.

Luke had never picked up a ukulele until he began primary teaching in 2016, and he hasn’t put it down since!

Bass Guitar

Luke started playing bass guitar in his teens and performed publicly on the instrument for the first time in a Christmas musical just one month after beginning to learn. He continues to play bass regularly and began teaching bass guitar in 2025.

Drums

Luke started playing drums at the age of 11, (although, he did have a “kit” when much younger) and for many years it was his main instrument, performing regularly for musical theatre productions. He later took a break from drumming to focus on piano, but began tutoring drums in 2015. This went on hiatus for several years before he returned to teaching drums again in 2025.
